Recommended Posts

New to the group just banded yesterday May 21, 2010 I'm 32 yr old female from Central IL

Doing good so far only thing I have experienced is face & neck swelling and warmness? Anyone had that?

I am excited about this journey. Looking for others that were banded around the same time to share experiences & milestones with.

Start: 5 foot 7 inches & 320.9 lbs

Hello. I got banded the 17th. I started this journey at 320 and 5'7 also. I was a bit warm the first day. Make sure you dont have a fever over 101. My shoulder and neck had the worst pain from the gas! It finally is bearable today. I cant eat anything more then 3oz of liquid at a time and that keeps me full for 3-4 hours. I had my post op today and they said it was normal and I was prolly still swollen but I cant get enough Water or Protein in and its got my weight lost at a stop!

I got banded on 5/21. It has been a bad experience. The pain medicine didn't help. I had the as pain and felt like my face was on fire. I used an ice pack and a lot of gas x. Today I feel a little better from the pain and hot flashes. My problem is the pain in my diaphragm. Everytime I take a drink, It feels like it gets stuck. I don't think I am getting all the liquids, Protein, and calories that I should be getting.

My surgery is in NC. I wouldn't change it for the world. I know that I will have hit and misses. A few bad experiences doesn't this journey make. I am really optomistic. I had a friend have her surgery two weeks before mine and she is doing great. She said everything I am feeling and experiencing is normal.

Is everyone still doing good. I am back to work tomorrow. I am still experiencing a lot of gas. It seems everytime I ride in a car it's worse. I made three trips to Walmart before I could stay long enough to grocery shop. And that was a bit much.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
